The second piece of the puzzle (after the below) in preparing my annual Established Win Shares Levels previews is to review the prior year’s team results. I’ll present these without much comment for now; the teams are sorted by how their 2011 pre-season rosters stacked up against their EWSL, with the later columns showing how they plugged the gaps with guys not listed before the season. I’ll go back and update this later with how this affects the cumulative team adjustments.
